the board of supervisors this morning
in which hidden eloquence and oratory
blossomed forth in manner that sur

to the proper time for turning over the

to the time of making his returns, but the
board insisted upon the right to demand
report when it should be asked for.

you buy from these peddlers or for

A Change of Money Flow.

Wall Street has experienced q
serious back set within the past two
years. The rage tor real estate
speculation and various Industrial
investments has thrown a large part
Of the money, which formerly went
to Wall Street for pond and stock
speculation, into new ana different
channel. Much OF this money has
found its way South. We think the
change a decidedly good one. While
these land speculations are often ats
tended with serisus crashes, yet 1t
more widely diff'uses money, aud
excltes a spirit in 8 better direction.

The Physicians have Found out

That concentrating and foreign ele-

ton, is the cause of rheumatism. This
settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous
covering of the muscles and ligaments Of
the joints, causing constant and shifting
pain, and aggregating as a calcareous,
chaIky deposit which produces stiffness
and distortion of the joints. No fact which
experience has demonstrated in regard to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has stronger
evidence to support than this, namely,
that tins medicine of comprehensive uses
checks the fornidA BILE and atrocious dis
